I am a very patriotic American who is literally amazed that tiny Israel
continues to exist. As I read through the various political arguments,
theological debates, politically correct nonsense (that is represented
all over the blogs), various publications and the Islamic hate filled
websites, my appreciation for Israel continues to flourish! I am one
who is very thankful that you continue to thrive. My amazement is not
because of the never ending threats against the nation itself, nor is
it due to any one particular accomplishment by your people, although
much can be said on the subject of which I will elucidate on shortly.
No, mine is based on a promise made to Abraham. My amazement has it’s
foundation in the fact that Abraham’s one act of obedience began the
history of your nation. The magnificence of how Israel began has
transcended the ages and populated a planet. Abraham was a servant….his
legacy embellishes your people.
I cannot live long enough to
read all that is written about your remarkable history. Walking through
the pages of what is recorded about your nation, your people, their
triumphs, tragedies, destruction(s) and rebirth(s) is for the reader, a
story of the miraculous. No nation on the earth can equal your
tribulation or challenge your goodness in the same sentence. It was the
God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob that ordered your destiny. It is by his
hand that I get to watch a living miracle move through the pages of
time, my time, I am simply amazed!
The technologies that Israel
has contributed to the global community are a beacon for the nations;
you get very little credit for your ingenuity. You have taken out of
the land so many scientific, medical and technological inventions and
discoveries it is not possible for me to properly encapsulate them in
this letter. What has and continues to be accomplished, knowing your
nation is a fraction of its former self, is astounding.
How Israel
opened up her borders for her people from all over the world has simply
never been done before. There has never been a nation reconstituted from generations scattered across the planet. You have restored the land and the dignity of
many who claim your heritage. In so doing we watched yet another promise fulfilled, marvelous!
In order to survive, your military
must be strong, must be ready and must be successful. Unfortunately
your provocateurs have yet to embrace the tenements of peace. Even in
this regard, the military power and technology to STOP attacks against
your land is on par with that of a superpower and yet you are the size
of a Q-tip in comparison; impressive to say the least! Some would say
this ability is unfair, outrageous and yet those very people have never
seen the inside of a gas chamber, or been systematically slaughtered
due to the industry of a nation. However, in order to survive you must
not rely on your military alone. Those who cannot see the monumental reality of what 60 years has given rise to are just, damned, blind! I see a brilliant nation once Olmert is gone. (I
couldn’t help it!) Brilliant because of the Glory of God that rests upon your struggle, leading you through the darkness.
I would be inexcuseable not to mention the splendor
of this nation, surrounded by huge Arab and Muslim land masses but
still out producing many of their gross national products or GDP’s. It
is this fact alone that could benefit most of the Middle East,
certainly the Palestinian. Israel is an integral part of the region and
global community. Israel has accomplished much noting that under her
soil are rocks and archeological treasure, not a drop of oil. Your
nation deserves ovation, not intolerance! Oh how I would love to
collapse on the sands of the Mediterranean in Tel Aviv with a cluster
of grapes and a branch of olives at my finger tip. As I watch Dubai
tower in opulence and rise out of the dust…it’s just not the same. It’s
like seeing a clone born with no soul(?)
The amazing testimonies
of those who suffer through the heartache of trying to save the lives
of even those who would seek your destruction are the epitome of
compassion. Of course, I speak of those who work at the Barzilai
Medical Center. I happen to know Lea Malul, she works there. (I can
only imagine 15 seconds in her shoes) But of this medical facility,
Israel is represented with clarity and dedication, a dedication born of
necessity rather than capital venture. I don’t know if I could save the
life of the man who would kill one of my children. These people do this
and more, it is extraordinary to comprehend.
Throughout Israel
the desire to honor life is the most prominent accolade of your people
It is for this reason that many of her enemies are alive today. To know
that a child is taught to call you pig and taught to hate you is
reprehensible and just evil. This is the kind of evil that even the
demons applaud.
In direct contrast to those whose history is
steeped in death and brutality and of particular interest to me is how
the Jewish people have managed to keep alive the traditions of her
ancestry. This ability in and of itself is the most spectacular witness
for the whole world to consider. With 3500 years under your belt the land continues to reveal this history. Turning over a shovel of dirt, can expose a jewel that bares witness to your past. Yet, this tiny community of people is
being threatened with genocide, once again. The world community is not
outraged at the very notion of killing the very people that gave birth
to most of us.
The United Nations has simply not done a damned
thing to stop the killing in Ethiopia, Eritrea, Sudan, Somalia and many
places around the globe. They consistently point a finger at Israel and
not those bombing Sedrot or Askelon. The absurdity of what I am
witnessing defies logic on every level.
The very fact that Israel is
put in this position is maniacal, sick, mentally depraved and hateful
beyond pale. The audacity of an Arab or Muslim or anyone to want to
wipe her of the map is a testimony to the failure of all of us.
What
is most ironic is that the United Nations exists! This miserable,
decadent, bastion of stupidity is a vivid reminder of exactly how we
can fail. The world community is inexcusable these days on the subject
of the preservation of life. We are one planet, in one parsec of our
galaxy at war with our humanity. It begs the question, ‘What is the
wisdom born of men?’
When in my own community there are those
who would agree with this insanity. This is simply beyond my ability to
comprehend. After 400 years of slavery imposed by the Anglo and
fourteen centuries of slavery imposed by the Muslim, it is not possible
for me to understand black liberation theology or Louis Farrakhan. For
the Negro who does not appreciate what Israel has endured, I would
suggest that perhaps being forced into slavery for nearly fifteen
centuries was relatively easy and could have been perpetrated by a colony of
ants?
In other words, the insistence on ignorance permeating my
community is perhaps the very reason we have been subject to slavery
and or oppression for so many centuries. I know this sounds awful but
the days of black technology seem to have stalled at Booker T.
Washington and George Washington Carver. I know that I will get
vilified by the Alice Walkers of the world or the Jeremiah Wright crowd
but how many basketballs are celebrated during the month of February?
What
I mean to say is that Fifty Cent and Ludicrous are not my idea of
advancing a people. Bob Johnson of BET fame who promotes our women and
culture as bitches and hoes, via the money making industry of rap music
is embarrassing! How can anyone glamorize the ghetto, any ghetto? (I
could say much the same about any race including my Jewish brothers and
sisters…we all fall short of the mark, every one of us, to be sure
where and when a buck can be made.) I am not saying that Bob Johnson is a
bad man but I don’t see him exposing the attrocities, via his network of the death and murder being perpetrated around the globe by Radical Muslims especially against blacks. I don't see his network telling the truth about Israel and Sedrot. I don't see the commentators shedding light on the positioning of hizbollah and hamas around Israel for unprovoked war! Where are the daughters of Spellman College or Moorehouse? I
don’t see Snoop Dog representing these women? I don't see BET pouring truth into the minds of our young.
The idea that we
need Barack Hussein Obama to help us and our identity is a better
description of ludicrous! If it were not for the teleprompter Barack
Hussein Obama would sound just like Ernest going to Washington! (Can’t
anyone else see this?)
I would much rather admire Thomas Sowell
or Walter E. Williams if I was one to venerate a particular strength in
the black community; and I am. Blacks are being killed throughout
Africa, slavery is making a substantial come back and I don’t know of a
single Jewish slave owner, do you? Why are we not seeing the mutilated
bodies of the millions of black folk being killed and tortured around
the globe? How come Tavis Smiley and that toad, Al Sharpton are not
running through the halls of justice for them? (Yeah, that’s right bro,
I called you a toad!)
My community (Black community) is
reckless and this is very unfortunate. I will continue to respect and
support personal responsibility and accountability. It would seem that
selling drugs, ‘pimping’ your ride and living in prison is easier then
standing up for character to many, not all but certainly quite a
few.
You see, in my mind, the United Sates of America in her
ignorance and juvenile beginnings literally was the catalyst for the
freedom of much of the African nations from the Arab slavers or Islam.
When are we going to forgive the idiots who perpetrated the normality
of slavery while unknowingly breaking the chains of forced Islam? When
are we going to see the bigger picture and realize that America is
worthy of what we can do? I will continue to claim my birth
right as an American citizen. (I don’t have a clue how to be an African
American?) I am not a victim, don’t want reparation and I would
encourage others in my community to join those of us, conservative or
otherwise to take back our communities and restore our families. (If
you insist on reparations you have to take twenty lashes as well. Get
the full effect so to speak!)
I have never been to Israel, I
can’t afford the ticket. If I found $10.000 in a duffle bag, I would
board a plan, go to Israel and look for the owner….from Tel Aviv!
Nevertheless, I have seen her beauty and various points of interest,
thank God for the internet. I have studied this nation for well over 25
years. I know many Jewish people, most are dynamic, successful, strong
and proud. I call them friends. As is the case with all of my friends
some are arrogant, self righteous, angry and opinionated; all are worth
every minute of my life! Oh yes, I have known a few Jewish folks that
are not worthy of spit. I have made mistakes too; the same has been
said of me. (Of this you can be sure.)
Racism however, against any
group of people is (in my opinion) the saddest commentary of humanity
and the largest obstruction to love!
Israel is simply
remarkable, her history is rich and her ability is inspired of God. I
feel sorry for those nations who don’t get it, who don’t understand the
rather remarkable people of Torah. By all accounts those that persecute
her are headed for certain destruction. Hitler is the best example and
most recent testament to this FACT! The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
is the protector of Israel. He has punished you, populated you and
blessed you. There is nothing else in the entire world that can explain
your existence and contribution to our global community. Woe be unto
those that would seek your destruction?
I am mindful of the
fact that not even Allah has been able to vanquish the Jews. For 3500
years he couldn’t do it and certainly the followers of the “Honorable”
Mohammed have yet to accomplish this task as well. So from one “raisin
head” to the next, I have never been able to understand the ‘religion
of peace?’I have not the mind to embrace your ideology and thirst for blood.
To all of those followers of Islam who truly want peace,
your silence is deafening. I feel sorry for the man who is not yet 25,
who has not known the joy of bouncing a grand baby on his knee but who
would strap a bomb on his person and blow himself and others to pieces.
I don’t want paradise, I want to shake your hand and live among men
while we have been given this privilege, duh!
When one
understands that dividing the land of Israel is reason enough to duck, run and
possible try to hide from the God Of Jacob. The years 1948, 1967, 1973 all should make you
rethink angering him. The sixty year anniversary of
Israel is only celebrating the promise of God not the birth of a
nation. Wake up you foolish ones, you really are playing with fire! And
to those Israeli’s who think this is a good idea to divide the land,
SNAP OUT OF IT already!
For all of you who want a secular nation,
this is not a birth right, you can’t have it! The blood of your land is
against your ignorance, it cries out for justice, daily.
America,
“One nation under God with liberty and justice for all” The most unique
nation of our time and yet she has maintained a double standard for the
people of Israel for years. I
wholeheartedly warn my country to not insist on overlooking the
miracle of Israel. I caution the leaders of my nation to not compromise
our existence. We have pictures of George Washington but none of
Abraham. We, as a nation have not been long for this earth. We have not
been tested on par with several ancient nations of our world. Iran not included. I pray we not
continue to loose site of our position in the world. I am not talking
about that rather pathetic screech made by Senator Obama to the German people.
I am talking about our position strategically given to us in order to
stand with Israel.
To my fellow Christians…you are a fool if
you think that God retired his love for the Jewish people. You are not
watching the signs, know very little about Torah and the Talmud from
the Paleo-Hebraic perspective. After all, how many Jewish people need
the Torah translated to Greek in order to comprehend the teaching? The
Jesus some of you celebrate is not Yeshua who died on the cross and
grafted me into the olive tree. The Church for nearly 2000 years was
and in some cases is still the holder of the doctrines of anti-Semitism
and replacement theology. We owe Israel an apology so, put away your
theology and get to know the people of the book. Many of you have done
just that and now support Israel. This development is of God so please;
do not be put off if the nation of Israel or some of her citizenry are
a bit squeamish, they have a right to be! Our beloved cross and the
swastika are a bit confusing to many Jews.
Jerusalem, the city
of David has a future that is not man made. I will continue to marvel
at what this land represents to all of us. My heart, my soul and my
spirit stand with you Israel. As we move through Tisha B’ Av my
thoughts, well wishes and continued prayer for your people and nation
are offered unconditionally.
